1. Here is a reminder about the task you are responsible for:

* Create 3 or 4 models of items the explorers used, created, or discovered on their journey.
  • Your models may be made of clay, wood, metal, paper, or other suitable material. (Or a combination of materials.)
  • The models do not have to be "actual size." Use your judgement about what size is appropriate to best represent the item.
  • Whenever possible, paint or color your model as appropriate.
  • In your presentation, you should be prepared to talk about the objects and why they were important. Write some notes on index cards to help you prepare.

Here are some model making tips for you!
